    This is a nice Marriott conveniently located less than a mile from the Irvine Spectrum mall. They have a shuttle if you don't want to walk. The pool area is great for kids. They have a rooftop lounge with a full bar. The lobby is really spacious and pretty. The gym is on the 2nd floor and you need a room key to get in.

    We came here to enjoy the bar and the ambiance. This hotel is centrally located and the bar here is open, has a patio, and plenty of space in the lobby. The food that was catered was fantastic, but the real shining stars were the Marriott members that provided exceptional hospitality. Mr. Gordon Fishmann runs a great crew and the bartenders, Bryan and Kory are fast, attentive, and super friendly. If you need to kill some time or want to watch a game, I'd recommend popping in!

    Came for the yelp event! Thank you Dia! We had a wonderful time at this sports event!

    Great experience. Met lots of great people and had fun mingling with new friends. Food and drinks were great too!

    Marriott Irvine Spectrum is easily one of the best hotel experiences in Orange County if you know what you're booking. From the second you walk in, the place feels elevated. Clean, modern, and designed with intention -- not your typical Marriott. The entire property has that upscale, resort-style energy while still being in a prime business and shopping location. The rooftop bar (Hive & Honey) is a major highlight. Panoramic views of Irvine, great atmosphere, and the perfect spot to end the night. It's one of those features that takes the hotel from good to unforgettable. Rooms are spacious, clean, and very well put together. Comfortable beds, great lighting, and large windows that give you that full city view. Everything feels updated and high quality. The pool area is another standout -- cabanas, lounge areas, and a setup that actually feels like a resort, not just a basic hotel pool. Location is perfect. You're right next to Irvine Spectrum Center, so you've got restaurants, shopping, and entertainment all within minutes. Staff across the board was professional, friendly, and efficient. Everything ran smooth -- no issues, no delays, no headaches. Bottom line: this place blends business, lifestyle, and resort energy better than most hotels in the area. Whether you're here for work or a getaway, it delivers. 10/10 -- would absolutely stay here again.

    This hotel is not the best Marriott I have visited. It has a nice view and amenities but lacks a lot of other things. There was no bathrobe, tooth brush, tooth paste. The tv was not working like other hotels and I wasn't able to connect the audio to my blue tooth. It definitely needs more upgrade. The shower is nice and the shampoos are okay quality. There was no spa center and the jacuzzi/pool were closed for construction. The kitchen offered nice food however only one servant is available and can be seen running around so fast from one table to another. They need to help the servants and add more people. The valet is nice in that they are courteous and help with opening the doors and moving the luggage.

    Thank you to the team, we stayed on 4/27 for 1 night for my husbands birthday. We have stayed here before but this visit was truly memorable, first Hanna had welcomed us days prior and asked about our upcoming stay, the tall gentleman that checked us in (i am sorry i didnt get his name) was friendly and polite, and Jada was a ray of sunshine when she stopped by our room! You guys had made this stay so pleasant! Bed was so comfy, ac worked perfectly fine. We'll be back again!

    We stayed at the Marriott Irvine Spectrum with our kids and really enjoyed many parts of our visit. The hotel itself is beautiful and modern, and it has a lot of thoughtful touches for families. Our kids loved riding the toy cars in the lobby, the infinity edge pool was a highlight, and the ice cream at the coffee shop and lobby downstairs quickly became a daily treat. The location near the Spectrum Center is also super convenient for meals and entertainment. That said, we did have a disappointing experience at the pool. During one of our visits, 2 individuals were openly taking provocative photos of themselves for OnlyFans (their words) in full view of families and children. They also referred to their body parts using crude terms in front of children playing on the pool steps. Several guests -- ourselves included -- voiced concerns to hotel staff, but nothing was done to address the situation, which was upsetting given the number of kids present. We felt the hotel should have stepped in to maintain a more appropriate family-friendly environment. Had it been a man taking these photos the police would have been called for indecent exposure around minors. It's unfortunate because so much of our stay was wonderful, but that experience definitely impacted how comfortable we felt as parents. We hope the hotel takes more care in enforcing respectful behavior in shared spaces in the future.

    The full size beds are horrible, my vanity sink doesn't drain, my ground fault circuit interrupter in the bathroom, continuously resets, just with a phone charger plugged into it. I asked for a room with a different Bed configuration and they have none and the guy at the front deskis rude. At 5:30 AM. On Saturday, August 23.

    Beautiful hotel in Irvine.. the pool and jacuzzi were amazing. I had an amazing experience and time staying here. Staff was very helpful, friendly and knowledgeable. Love the free shuttle to and from the Irvine Spectrum Mall. The rooms are super comfortable and spacious. Comfortable beds, restaurant on site.

    - overpriced in my opinion but ok if you don't mind that. I personally like value over everything else in a hotel, and I like it when staff are friendly, nice and welcoming regardless of your tier status or any other status. I had issues checking in that were mildly annoying, but I appreciated their early checkin and late checkout options. I didn't get the friendliest welcome from the person that checked me in, but the manager was professional and helpful. - infinity pool is not real infinity pool, rather has concrete edge - outside dining area small and far from pool, could have better ambiance - you have to pay or be platinum and above to access the M lounge with free breakfast - valet expensive $49 a night, and it was especially slow considering how many people they had working. It also was annoying when I could see the courtyard parking across the way and there was ample parking there. It was doubly annoying when I could see my car from the lobby but it took so long to get my key and car - room is nice and as expected with Marriott. Large windows. Quiet and I slept well. - I wish I had checked out the gym, it looked nice!

Laura at the front desk did what she could when our room wasn't ready upon arrival. After we mentioned the condition of the chair, she arranged one room with free parking, which we appreciated. Deanne, our waitress, was very kind and accommodating. Gilbert, our waiter, went above and beyond. Both my son and I have severe food allergies, and he took excellent care of us. His service was truly exceptional. Unfortunately, the day before (6/12), when my son had asked staff about safe food options due to his allergy, the staff on duty seemed uninterested and dismissive, which was disappointing and concerning. Jasmine in the coffee area was also very sweet. Unfortunately, the positives ended there. Julie, the bar manager, appeared to be drinking wine every time we saw her. At one point, when my husband got up to look for something, she responded with attitude rather than asking if he needed assistance. The bar was packed with softball teams and players, and it felt like helping guests and supporting staff should have been the priority. Service overall was poor. We requested towels and waited over an hour. After following up, we were told the request had been forgotten. The condition of the room was unacceptable. The chair in room 833 was broken and extremely dirty. We were told it would be replaced, but it never was. Most concerning of all, after returning home, my husband developed bites and went to urgent care...they were consistent with bedbug bites following our stay. One additional disappointment: I accidentally left my Conair 10x magnifying lighted vanity mirror in the room and called the very next day to ask if it had been turned in. I was told it had not been found. Overall, this was the worst hotel experience we've had--the dirtiest hotel with only a few friendly staff members. We will never be back,

We were sent to the wrong room. So we had to goto the 10th floor. Tried getting into the wrong room, then had to go all the way back downstairs to get the right room. The elevator takes forever to get to the floor we were on. But its weird, because going up and down it goes quickly. But takes forever to actually get into the elevator. It was pretty hot (for Irvine) outside. And you definitely felt it in the hallways. It was hot and stuffy. The pillows for the bed was terrible. Caused me to have a kink in my neck in the morning. Our included breakfast in the AM was ok. They used liquid eggs which just isnt that great. Dont get me wrong though, theres a lot of things I enjoyed about my stay here, including: The room looked very posh and high end. AC works amazingly. The bed is very comfortable, you just sink right into it. I really enjoyed how stable and fixed the bed is. The shower pressure us amazing. Good water pressure. Nice fixtures. Customer service. They really bend over backwards for their guests. Able to get some more complimentary water bottles from the front desk. Even the people working in the breakfast room were super helpful and nice. YNK- this is their speakeasy. A must visit!! Great drinks. Exceptional customer service. See my review of YNK for further details!! Lots of things to do on premise. Beautiful pool. Multiple eating places. They have a top golf room. I did enjoy their coffee machines in the breakfast room. Massviely large parking lot. You have to badge in and out so pretty secure Id say.

I was not in the best mood due to the 90+ degree heat and all the driving I had to do when I arrived, the staff at the front desk were quick to help me with a parking pass and I liked that there were plenty of parking spaces (and glad the parking spaces were in a structure that is covered). The room itself was clean and nice. I appreciated the extra towels and plenty of pillows on the bed. I had a very pleasant nap before my next meeting with my customer. The extra outlets everywhere is much appreciated, and the wifi was plenty fast for me to do a bit of work in the room. I came back later that night and slept very well, as the AC was plenty strong even with the Irvine heat. Breakfast in the morning was excellent, I liked that all the tables were clean, and there were plenty of hot and cold options for breakfast. Along with plenty of coffee. I had to leave early in the morning, so I appreciate the very early breakfast hours of 6am on M-F and 6:30am on weekends. I can't really think of anything wrong with my stay, I didn't interact with the staff much as I was so tired and stressed from the work day. The only thing I can comment on is if the parking spaces can be a little bigger, my rental car fit just fine but I noticed the SUVs and pickup trucks were having trouble fitting in the spaces. And of course, $37 a night for parking is a bit steep.

I would understand if no room is available yet, but I was told that I'm allowed to check in 1 hour earlier than 3 pm at the additional cost of $25. That fee is rather unnecessary and pitiful to me. The nickel-and-diming is big turn-off. - Parking cost of $30/night seems excessive; I believe $10-20/night is more reasonable and would encourage guests to stay for more nights. - I was fraudulently charged an extra $9 because someone not in my party bought from the hotel shop and charged my room. However, I'm grateful that the receptionist resolved this matter with me timely during checkout process. I'll stay in this hotel again if the price per night +parking cost is within my budget.
